CRIES OF"MURDER."

It was near o'clock q few mornings ago
when half dozen weary gents were dis
patching oysters at Gandolfo's. The sneaking
cold and quietude Of the city was almost sug-
gestive that something bloody was going to
happen for which jealous reporter would
breast blizzard A policeman was one OF
the party and reporters were not far away.
Murder! murder!! help! help.!n came ap-
parently from one of the rooms above. Tn e
pulse was quickened and eyes sparkled while
some turned deathly pale, and the repor-
ter part Of the outfit fell victim
to the idea that good item might
be lost on account of its being SO near
press time. The 'policer" with hand on pis-
toll rushed out upon the street and called for
every one to help in the relief. The upper
stories of the building were searched, and
the word calls well' came from every de-
>partment.
Finally the crowd was again around the
table, not over the scare and with appetites
slightly impaired The oysters were handled
simply because they had been paid for.
Again the awful cries were heard even
worse than before Again the policeman led
the rush for the stairway. Certainly some
one was being killed, and the gray dawn
would find murder Il ost foul in the metrop-
oils. Each particular hair stood on
end etc. The hunt was more
vigorous than before and the footsteps light
er. No murder could be found.
On this occasion it was noticed that one
Of the gents at the table did not seem alarm
ed at the cries of distress. The action served
as pointer for the watchful. He was a
vantriloquist and enjoyed his oysters ali the
more. He has since that time caused some
of the policemen to invade joints and tell the
proprietor that they must have less noise
or the stock would be closed cut. He is still l
in the city and for his own amuse ment occa-
sionally wakes eloquent.

TALK ON BOOM.

The mercury in the real estate therrnome-
ter still seems to be on a high despite TIE
fact that the cold wave would indicate
otherwise. Yesterday two hundred and fifty
Instruments were filed, and among them
quite number Of large sales.
One of the leading vendors of THAT CON-
modify" stated yesterday that he never
knew biting wind SO severe that 1t would
have a tendency TO lessen the zeal OF
thorough real estater. Some of the buyers
in the last few days had shown weakness
when it had been suggested that the carriage
would be ordered and they would take him
out. The customer usually Abbreviated the
trip, stepping to the map or plot and point
ING ont certain numbers, with the ever vel
come words: "I'll take these"
s.slost of the sales Of outside property, he
continued, ''arc name from paper. This may
have a tendency to decrease that kind but
they st;ll seem to form good per cent of
sales.
while the Indictment weather may have
tendency to draw the brakes on the
hooro the schemers will have more time to
plan out big enterprises and decide where to
strike FOR good returns They are by no
means idle. The time amt lost if they are
c3u,,e!led to revelve around a red hot stove
the ,na jor portion Of office hours. Time to
think and time to rest from actual battle Is
lust as necessary in building great cities as
in capturing fort, conquering forrest or
breaking the stubborn glehe. After proper
nianY,iug action is rewarded with happy re-
suits"
well now what does all this / have been
saving amount to when practical appllca-
ton is made It means just this, that
Wichita will boom the faster next spring ii
wa sbould have cold weather for some weeks.
It would he just as well for the city, and L
think a little better Give the workmen
rest. the surveyors and plotters Of additions
rest. schemers rest and everyone little rest.
Although the world is running away as fast
as ever, q few days Of moderate working
could more than be Tegained."
II am not at all sure that the cold wave
will have a dem0ralizing effect on the real
estate market even while this snappishness
continues. The present would seem, from
some stand points at least, to indicate that
the rustic would pay little or no attention.
but mean to say that if the boom is q re-
srecter of the weather it will be equally as
healthy as It will be if it breasts the storm.

{" ALL A CONN.,

Captain Crossan has returned from a
trip to Pennsylvania and Ohio. He said
that he often took occasion to en!ighten the
natives regarding the great city of the

merts or advantages, yet half of his hearers
would turn aside with, Another of those
d Kansas liars" Still, he says there
were many who were preparing to make
Wichita their future hone-in fact, it APP
peared to him that they were all coming.
